Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet BT Single-Cut - Midnight Sapphire

We love these, they are always a solid made guitar with nice finishing and they always set up well, which is the sign of a well made guitar.
This one has the 2 Gretsch humbuckers with a master volume on the top horn, plus individual volumes and a master tone control, a tune-o-matic bridge and "V" stop tail.
This used example is very tidy with a couple of light marks from a stand on the back, and one small ding on the back of the neck, which cannot be felt while playing.
It is pretty striking in this subtle metallic blue and sounds like something a lot more expensive.

Here's what Gretsch say about the Electromatic Jet BT

Sophisticated and sensible, Electromatic® Jet™ BT models are the perfect real, pure and powerful Gretsch® instruments. They're your next-step Gretsch—bold, dynamic and articulate, and crafted with essential Gretsch sound, style and playability.

True Jet Essence with Broad'Tron™ Might

The all-new G5220 Electromatic Jet BT Single-Cut with V-Stoptail delivers Broad'Tron™ power with classic Jet clarity.

Chambered Mahogany Bodies

At the heart of each Electromatic Jet BT is a chambered mahogany body with maple top that produces a rich, present mid-range that accentuates big lows and shimmering highs.

All-new Black Top Broad'Tron Pickups

A pair of Black Top Broad'Tron pickups drive the chambered mahogany body with maple top through thick, aggressive overdrive while maintaining astounding definition and note balance suitable for the most pristine clean tone.
